Pros

The department heads are great! They honestly take a interest in you as a person and are there for you should you need advice or guidance... Assuming you ask for it.

Cons

No real room for advancement; the changing rules and policy, as well as deeply assymetrical enforcement make every day a guessing game and leave boundaries undefined. No concequences are defined in policy, giving HR too much lattitude as to... Well, anything. HR hands out policy mandates "because reasons" and takes no feedback at all. It's more like a parent/child relationship than adult, equals who work together in different positions. It's a small company, so part of the changes are with them growing, which is understandable, but on the other hand, it's heavy-handed in places where it should be light, and vice versa.

We value our employee’s commitment and dedication and look to promote from within when the need arises to grow a department. Any eligible Employee will be considered for open positions should they express interest and meet the criteria of the new role. Changes in Policies and procedures are necessary with a growing staff. This can lead to some confusion with staff. Our goal is to communicate clearly when changes will take place and why. We send all members of Management and Administrative staff to training and CE courses throughout the year to stay current on the newest developments, rules and regulations regarding our industry, and managing a growing staff. We understand the need to continue to grow our knowledge ensuring our staff can reach full potential during their tenure with Nextlink. Some turnover in this industry is to be expected however, we want to make sure we take the necessary steps to ensure our staff is happy. We ask that any employee with a grievance come visit with any member of Management or HR to discuss so we can rectify the situation and make the necessary changes or improvements.

Pros

Great training Supportive management. Laid back coworkers. Great entry point if you have 0 experience or knows nothing about technology 4 days work week. Decent temporary job.

Cons

10 hours work day. Fast Food worker's pay rate. Some lower level management tries a bit too hard to show out. Classic Corporate Values. Insincerity. "Positivity bombing" They will tell you to be yourself, but fellow neurospicy folks please remember that it's still a corporate environment. Rigid and strict structure. Lazy way to micromanage and monitor lower level employees from middle & upper management. All the cons that goes with being a lower level peon in a corporation.
